I think the issue you’re having – you don’t call it out specifically – is that the rack is unattached at the bottom? I’ve never seen this type of rack attachment but it appears that you need to remove the rear skewer (the silver cam-lever thing going through your hollow rear axle) and reinstall it so it goes through those holes in the rack bottom mount. Make sure your skewer is long enough and grabs enough threads on the other side to hold your wheel on safely. It’s a possibility that you could need a slightly longer one to do it safely. Stopping at a friendly bike shop to verify the attachment might be a good idea. Would like to hear other commenters take as well.

Definitely look into a longer skewer Quick release.
Old man mountain sells them so does Blackburn.
Need 170mm at least cut to length. There might be another option with a P clamp. Also the deck of the rack needs to move towards seat post to level out.
